JAI #141 : A COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week at Just Add Ink, we have a gorgeous colour challenge for you.   Kathy came up with the suggestion of using these colours together:



 
 
I LOVE this colour combo, and have used it before - but not for quite some time.  You will be "wowed" by the rest of the Design Team's creations - and we look forward to seeing yours!
 
 
Here is my card, using Stampin' Up!'s Serene Silhouettes stamp set .... love.  The embossed panel below the flowers was created by rubbing my Crumb Cake inkpad directly onto the inside of the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.  I ran it through my Big Shot, with a piece of Wisteria Wonder Designer Series Paper inside.  To soften the brown tones of the Crumb Cake, I spritzed the panel with Frost White shimmer spray (shimmer paint mixed with Isocol).  Isn't it pretty??
 

 
 
 
 
You can see the shimmer a little better in this pic:

Card: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Wisteria Wonder

  8. Revisting your blog post, a song came to mind when looking at the colour challenge.
    "I can see clearly now the blur(rain) has gone".

    Ha ha!!

    Please don't post this, people will wonder what I am going on about.

  9. Gorgeous! I can never get Wisteria Wonder to work for me - could help if I actually used it more than once or twice LOL. I'm going to try to get to this challenge before the deadline and test myself.

  11. I wondered how you did this - just beautiful you clever thing! Love the softness of these colours together - I've never used them before! Love the little extra details like the ribbon treatment, the little pearled flowers and mainly the textured cardstock!
